OPERATION
32XX S Self Steering In Vehicles with
Air Suspension
In 32XXS four axle vehicles the second axle
is self-steered and has an air suspension.
This axle facilitates vehicle's manoeuvring
by complying with the turn of the front axle in
forward and backward manoeuvres.
When the vehicle is shifted to reverse, the
caster mechanism allows the axle to perform
a backward manoeuvre by automatically
adjusting the axle's caster angle. Additionally,
the self-steered axle can be lifted by a control
switch in the cab.
CAUTION
In reverse manoeuvres you should wait 8 to 10
seconds after the forward manoeuvre to allow
the wheels turn in the opposite direction.
CAUTION
Do not perform a reverse manoeuvre when
the gear is in neutral.
